Modeling Precipitate Microstructure Evolution in Alloys with First-Principles Energetic Information

Article Preview

Abstract:

This short article reports our recent effort to integrate the mesoscale phase-field method with first-principles total energy calculations, linear response theory, as well as mixedspace cluster expansion. A particular example of applying such a multiscale approach to the case of precipitation of semicoherent θ' particles in an Al-matrix is presented.
